the Obstacles of a Black Boy
The hardest part of life is overcoming the obstacles a person experiences. Though the level of difficulty jumps to a new extreme when the obstacles are based on one's survival. The life of Richard Wright was primarily based around the problems that occurred all his life such as hunger, his family and the racism of the South. He constantly fought against the problem of religion, where he was forced against his will to worship something that he didn't understand, so therefore, didn't want to understand it. Richard Wright faces almost all the possible obstacles that a young black man can experience, and though he often walks away from his problems, as his life progresses he learns to face his problems, hopefully learn from the experience it gives and then move on with his life. The one obstacle that Richard unfortunately suffers throughout is life, is his constant hunger. He never fully encounters it until his father leaves his family, and he must go out and find a job to feed his mother and little brother. When Richard's family moves to his, Granny's house, the hunger just seems to get worse and worse. He now must work to pay not only for his mother and brother, but also for his granny and grandp

With having to provide for his entire family with money for food and just dealing with all of the people he must live with, it really begins to annoy Richard. He is always in a constant battle with his granny for the right of his belief in God and then there are the fights between him and his Aunt. Though Richard has a problem with getting along with the family members that have been living with him most of his life, a huge problem occurs when his uncle Tom and family come to live at grannies' house.
